This book presents an innovative approach to teaching that helps
students acquire and use knowledge in ways that go beyond rote
memorization of facts and figures--to develop a level of
understanding that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Based on a six-year collaborative research project of school
teachers and researchers from the Harvard Graduate School of
Education, the book describes what teaching for understanding looks
like in the classroom, and examines how teachers have learned to
use it.
